RE: [Digital BW] Very interesting article on evolution of Digital Printing

Andre, et al-

There will always be writers/reviewers like him.

Heck, if we wanted to figure out how many fractions of a pennyweight of
silver is in a sheet of gelatin fiber paper, then calculate how many
$$HUNDREDS we are paying per ounce, well, we'd have him.  Since silver goes
for ~$5.20 (USD) per ounce, it's all nuts if you look at it that way.
